    This is really a one man fight. There isn't much that Honeyghan can do to win it, but there is a lot that Lopez can, or cannot, do to lose it.

    Lopez at his best, I’ll take him to win it.

    But he was one of those guys that preferred to turn up in the club rather than in the ring.

    If you can't beat "pound-for-pound" James Page then you can't beat peak Honeyghan

    Is Honeyghan getting sold short? He was a beast on the night he beat Curry - regardless of what % Curry was at.

    Honeyghan has the much better wins between the two.

    Lopez should win but Honeyghan at his best makes it a tough fight.

    The memories of late career Honeyghan are probably coloring this a bit. After Starling brutalized him he was never the same.
